Show trucks.....

I went to a car show yesterday. They had some nice cars and a few nice blazers. One of which was one that was in a mag some time ago. I don't remember the name, but it was purple, turquoise and peach I believe. It's a late '60's blazer, lowered, 2wheel drive....anyway. The point of this
There was a guy there that had a late '90's 4x4 extended cab. It wasn't the new recent body style chevy...the older one. Nice pretty show paint. I got to looking at it. He had one tire on a tree stump (a fake one) that was maybe 2 feet tall and was flexing the rear axle. I looked and he had traction bars....the kind you put on cars that hang down real low. He had unhooked them so his truck could flex more. Prolly 6 or 8 inches of lift and I'd guess 35's or a little bigger. It was pretty much flexed to it's max. I laughed. Cause in the parking lot is my blazer, crossed up in a ditch we found and was flexing both axles farther than this guy and the blazer still had some room.
I love my blazer

If you see my truck on a trailer, call 911 cause it's <font color=red>STOLEN!!!</font color=red>

Those sound like traction lifts. They are a traction bar of sorts and the give a few inches of lift. They were kinda big in the early 90s, but didnt really catch on. They seemed to work in theory but Im not sure if they really did or not.
